Project Overview

A growing property platform in Australia needed more engineering capacity to ship listing, CRM, and property-management features without slowing releases. Starling Elevate embedded staff augmentation specialists into the client's agile squads so internal teams could keep delivery moving while integrations and platform work expanded.

The six-month engagement added React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS engineers alongside existing product teams working on listings, agent workflows, and third-party CRM connections.

Specialists joined sprint planning, code reviews, QA cycles, and release verification rather than running a separate vendor track. That let the client scale capacity for active roadmap items while keeping established engineering standards.

Leaders gained flexibility to ramp frontend, backend, QA, and DevOps support as priorities shifted across property management modules and customer portals. This page covers the client context, staffing approach, delivered roles, business results, and common questions for similar PropTech team extensions.
